[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I didn’t let my kid kid pick single as a choice. Part of the experience is living with others. And I say this as someone who did not get along with my freshman roommate so much that I ended up moving to another room. But I learned a lot in the process about what I could put up with and what I wouldn’t.

Unless there is a medical need, you should think about later years too. Will they be living solo in an apt as upperclassman too? Never need a roommate in life? [/quote]

You know, you say this with an error of superiority, as if someone who never has roommates is defective. Well, I for one has basically never had roommates and I’m 55 years old. I had a husband for a while, and that was fine and we divorced over infidelity, but we got along fine as roommates.

As long as you can afford it throughout your lifetime, there’s no disadvantage to living alone if that’s what you prefer. Sharing a toilet does not make you more virtuous.[/quote]

It’s actually you with the air of superiority. Most people cannot afford to pay for single dorm rooms. Most young people cannot afford apartment living in their own.

When young people travel, they usually stay in shared dorm style hostels. [b]People move to large cities for work and look for roommates to offset the high cost of rent. [/b]

It doesn’t make someone ‘defective’ and that word was never used. It does lend to an experience that is very common in young people and yes I do believe it helps with their growth process.

They look for HOUSEMATES, not roommates.[/quote]

You clearly have never been a young person living in NYC. [/quote]

NYC has less than 3% of the population of the USA. Why are you applying living standards of a small minority of Americans to all college students?
